Meta has introduced SAM, an AI model that can cut out anything from an image, and released the SA-1B dataset. SAM is short for Segment Anything Model.
2
Accurate segmentation
Meta's SAM solves the complexity involved in image segmentation, creating accurate models for specific data types.
3
Combination of approaches
SAM is a segmentation model that combines interactive and automatic approaches, aiming to reduce the need for task-specific expertise and custom data annotation.
4
Largest dataset
SAM's generality is due to its training on the SA-1B dataset, which has over 1.1 billion segmentation masks, making it 400 times larger than any other dataset.
5
Just a click
SAM allows users to segment images by clicking on objects or drawing bounding boxes, with the ability to show multiple valid masks.
